>>1438636Honestly I bought some cheap ass boots at my local surplus (fostex, "sniper boots") not expecting them to do as well as they did. They've been serving me well for two years now for a $40,- price tag which is more than my money's worth. They're not full leather so you won't get swamp feet and they keep the weather out in the rainy wet shit that is north-east europe. Pic related.
Check out if your local milsurp has something similar.
